GTD apps reviewed?

Good evening everyone, I'm pretty new to GTD, switched to Mac about 8 months ago. I'm reading the book now and am interested to know if there's a site that has reviewed most of the GTD apps out there. There seem to be a good handful of apps (OmniFocus, iGTD, MidnightBeep) and I'm having a REAL hard time trying to decide which might be best for me. Right now I use Remember the Milk on my iPhone (very nice!), but I find that most GTD apps sync to iCal (events and tasks), therefore I can't see my tasks on the iPhone.

Any pointers, in general, of what apps are good and which to stay away from? Thanks in advance,

Marc

Taskpaper

Scott,

Have you tried out Task Paper (Hogbay software)? The files are just plain text files so you could always use any editor (I think there's even a bundle for Textmate), and it's ability to click around the file makes it just that much little bit faster than grep.

Best, Jeff

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
